⚽ Leicester vs Arsenal, League, Saturday 25th 3pm

Qwiss

Why is Martinelli over playing it so much? He used to be more direct. Needs to go for it. I hate when he cuts to the outside for a cross instead of inside for a shot.

Xhaka is holding us back too. Someone there who makes runs and can score would take us up a level.

Clrnc

Wrighty says its a clear foul. Shearer says its a clear foul but not clear and obvious error and the goal was the 2nd phase of play.

What is this world?

Coombs

Multiple fouls on Saka in their box much worse than White on that shit keeper. As in, actual fouls that actually impeded the player that actually resulted in changing the outcome of play.

MistaT

Pepe LeFrits -- it's killing me, I love Martinelli and he's done so so little these days.

Clrnc

Ok whole studio agrees the foul on Saka is a clear pen, even Dermot Gallagher!

banduan

it was a correct call to disallow the goal but that was a peno on Saka. No consistency at all.

Mirth

banduan Pretty much - the rules are only enforced one way.

Coombs

banduan there's no point in trying to be objective about it. Every goal from a set piece has a foul in it, objectively. Why pull us up on it? Where is the line they are arbitrarily drawing on holding all of a sudden? It's nonsense.

Claudius

First half was fine.
VAR has had a howler again on the Saka penalty call

I would bring Vieira on for Xhaka

Clrnc

And they predict PGMOL will come out to apologise to us for the missed pen by VAR if we don't win

banduan

Martinelli is having one of those games where he's trying to do too much rather than keep it simple.

banduan

The problem is he's been playing exactly like this for months now. That combination play with Jesus elevates his game hugely.

Qwiss

The call on White is correct. What's frustrating is that Saka is clearly taken down in the box and it's not been called. It's the lack of consistency that is influencing games unfairly.

Burnwinter

Qwiss It's the lack of consistency that is influencing games unfairly.

It smells fishy. Without going full tinfoil hat, I don't think it's coincidental. It's a combination of the wealth and incumbency of a few clubs, the preponderance of guys from the north in the PGMOL, and the degree to which people hate us for being Arsenal and therefore better.

Claudius

Coombs
Pretty much. If you go back and referee every set piece goal m, half the goals would be cancelled. I agree it’s a foul, but we keep setting weird precedents in officiating. Various calls on guys like Xhaka, Martinelli, Luis, etc have never been done anywhere else

Clrnc

MARTINELLI!!!

Claudius

Martinelli!!!!!

Claudius

And they’ve broken him

Big Willie

Fuck Martinelli scored but looks fucked with his knee.

YESS
